Batman Mafia

[Bard The 5th LW]

We could very well have continued the hunt without removing our 100% chance target.

[Geminex]

Todays freeze was because I thought it would be better to hunt for the remaining mafiates, since the known can be lynched at any time.

Yes, and given that we don't know any of the others, it'd be smart to minimize our search pool first. We do that by killing known scum first, then, when scum has killed some of our players in return, we've got a smaller playerbase to search.

I mean in the end it's only a fraction, but still, dammit. There was absolutely no good reason to freeze Nik.

As for the "Play to Win" thing, I prefer to play games to have fun. Otherwise it stops being a game, and starts being a competition which is alot less fun.

Then don't freaking play mafia. You're part of a group here. Don't sabotage that group, even if you enjoy it.

Okay maybe I'm being a bit too harsh here, but geez. That was not a smart thing to do, and definitely not a smart thing to do twice.

That's a bad play by Marius on that. He needs to realize that we were going to get to this point of finding new targets after lynching Nikose. Now we aren't sure if we can nail a mafiate today and if we don't then that is a day wasted.

While you think that you choice follows a "play for fun" concept, there is a line between that and outright griefing.

Vote: Mr. Bookworm

He's been playing low profile the whole game and his recent jump to lynch a townie the moment it's confirmed sets off too many alarms.

In the MLP mafia, Bookworm got mod-killed and sent the game into night. I believe it was MLP D1. But we did get Nique out of the way, so at least a mafiate died in the middle of the night. I didn't play this game, but I was told to read or skim part of it. So I remember this. Hopefully I remember correctly.

Maybe Marius is a town-aligned traitor? Self-aligned? Foolish? Maybe he is scum and helping his team by freezing. Maybe it's a godfather effect. D1 he froze a mafiate, D2 and 3 he froze mafiates. It just doesn't make sense what good can come out of this. Other then fun for Nikose.

And Marius, if this is about fun, then realize that in mafia, by doing this, you can ruin other people's fun. I'd feel a whole lot safer knowing one more mafiate is permanently gone.

They've ended days before. Not unheard of!

Ok, just got confirmation that both MariusTwilight and Nikose Tyris were communicating outside the thread. Although I specifically never stated in the sign up thread nor the opening post of this game that this was not allowed, it's very common knowledge that players are not allowed to interact with each other outside of the game thread unless stated otherwise (such as being fellow mafiates, masons, etc...). Someone new (such as Marius) I can ALMOST understand the slip up, but Nikose definitely knows better. As such...

MariusTwilight, Dr. Victor Fries (Mr. Freeze - Jailer) Arkham Asylum aligned and Nikose Tyris, Tim Drake (Robin) have been retconned out of continuity for cheating and banned from any future Mafia games that I run.

Still Day 3. 11 active players makes 6 for a lynch.

P.S. Apparently Fenris was cheating too (was also in communication with both Marius and Nikose previously outside the thread about the game). He's a mod, but consider him added to the list too unless I'm not allowed to ban people anyway.

Edit: Directed to those who are cheating: You all are grown-ups, I shouldn't have to baby sit anyone to make sure people are following the rules. But if you want to break the rules like that, then I can treat you like children if that's the case.

Double Edit (for more clarifying): I don't like being a dick, but people who are cheating are just ruining the other players fun. And quite frankly I'm making and running this game to make sure everyone is having fun. So it's not fair that a few individuals get to break the rules and ruin others enjoyment.

[Geminex]

That's settled, then. Kinda shitty but oh well. I'll reserve judgement till the postgame. For now, we've got Nikose outta the way, and Marius won't be interfering anymore, so that's cool.

Now. Who to lynch?

Don't think Bookie's a major target. He went for Karesh pretty hard last day, and I don't think scum would've done that. Nique stayed back, and I think the rest of scum might have as well.

Uhm.

Not sure who to hit, though. Bahamutflare is a bit fishy, since he was kinda the only one who even mentioned the fact that Hawk2 might be an SK. Kinda implies that his words had a lot of influence on Scum. Though then again, Nikose accused RO of being SK as well so... Blah.

Gonna go through the thread again.

[Aldurin]

Ok, now that's out of the way . . .

I'm still going to keep my vote on Bookworm, but that's all I have right now. Anyone have thoughts/leads?

[Bard The 5th LW]

I really dont know who to go for now.

Based on the results of day 2, I consider Geminex to be confirmed town. Going to read back to see how enthousiastic people were about lynching Karesh.
